ESPN to Exclusively Stream CW Sports under New Content Pact

Under a new pact, ESPN will stream roughly 800 hours of CW Sports programming—covering college football and basketball, pro bull riding, WWE, NASCAR, PBA bowling and more—on ESPN's direct-to-consumer service, while The CW handles ad sales; the CW streams will be exclusive to ESPN’s platform and won’t appear on ESPN’s linear channels. The deal leverages CW access to ACC, Mountain West and Pac-12 games plus WWE content, filling gaps in ESPN’s slate and signaling ongoing bundling of sports content. Separately, The CW and Roku announced a Fall 2026 deal to bring CW programming to The Roku Channel for next-day streaming.

The layoffs coincide with a leadership change, as Dennis Miller steps down and Brad Schwartz takes over as President of Entertainment. Nexstar reported a 22% increase in ad sales and a reduction in operating losses and programming costs.
